Exact Audio Copy 1.0 Beta 3 | 4.2 MB
Exact Audio Copy (EAC) - A program designed to extract sound tracks from audio CD c then converting to MP3 and WAV. In the Exact Audio Copy (EAC) supports almost all modern codecs and SCSI / ATAPI CD drive. The program has a built-in player, understands and knows how to edit ID3 tags, in a small sound editor implemented a lot of functions for processing sound. Besides, are supported by CD recording drive, work with CD Extra and CD Text, as well as access to the CDDB.
Features of EAC:
• All kinds of CD and DVD drives are supported (including USB, Firewire, SATA and SCSI drives)
• Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)
• A secure, a fast and a burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction should run at the same speed as other grabbers with jitter correction, but is probably not exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any synchronization.
• Detection of read errors and complete losses of sync and correction in the secure mode, as far as possible
• Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and the possibility to listen to these positions
• EAC is able to copy ranges of music data, not only tracks
• Automatic speed reduction on read errors and fallback to a higher speed afterwards (depends on the used drive)
• Volume normalization of extracted audio to a given percentage
• Usage of the Windows Audio Compression manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression to eg MP3 waves
• Support for the LAME DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for on-the-fly MP3 compression
• Support of external MP3, WMA, flac and OggVorbis encoders for automatic compression after extraction (supports multi-processor environments)
• Batch compression to WAV files and decompression of supported encoded files to WAV
• Compression offset support for exact compression / decompression
• Detection of pre-track gaps (positions where negative track times runs towards 00:00:00)
• Detection of silence in pre-track gaps
• Automatic creation of CUE sheets for Burnnn, Feurio, Nero or even EAC, which can include all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC and also CD-Text for an exact copy
• CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges
• Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and / or does caching
• Sample offsets for drives with noaccurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence
• Synchronizing between tracks for non-accurate stream drives
• Trackname editing with local / remote CD databases support and more features like ID3 tagging
• Browse and edit local database
• Certified Escient ® CDDB (TM) Compatible
• Local CDDB support
• Record and loop record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.
• Automatic renaming of MP3 files accordingto their ID3 tag
• Catalog extraction function (eg first 20 seconds of a track)
• Multisession (CD-Extra) support
• CD-Text support
• CD-Write support for some drives (internally and using CDRDAO)
• ID3 V1.1 tag editor with drag and drop ability from track listing and CD database browser
• Glitch removal after extraction
• Small WAV editor with the following functionality: delete, trim, normalize, pad, glitch removal, pop detection, interpolation of ranges, noise reduction, fade in / out, undo (and much more)
• Program is free for personal use, so feel free to copy
Changes in Beta 3 (September 22, 2011):
The released beta 3 of EAC is probably the first really stable 1.0 version, as many more bugs are fixed. For an exact list, please read the News.rtf file, which is stored in the EAC directory by the installer (and which can be accessed via the start menu).
This version includes the CTDB plugin written by Gregory Chudov. It will not be installed by default, you need to check the plugin option in the installer. If everything works as expected, the next version of EAC will come with the CTDB plugin installed by default. So try it out now!
What's new in Exact Audio Copy 1.0 Beta 3:
· Added the CTDB (CUETools Database), which can test complete CD rips against an online checksum (like AccurateRip, but CD based) and submits error correction data which can be used by others on defective CDs with an external application.
· Fixed a problem with track duration in e.g. filename creation for the last track of a CD
· Using UNC paths will now work (again)
· Several database issues (eg max database size was 256 MB)
· Translations for the metadata plugins
· Sometimes the metadata provider plugins were not loaded
· In some cases the options window of the metadata plugins could not be opened
· Options of the freedb metadata plugin are not stored over EAC sessions (in some cases)
· LAME DLL produces defective, stuttering MP3s (bug exists since 1.0 beta 1!). By the way, it seems that only LAME.DLL (VC6 compiled) is compatible with EAC.
· Codec compression crashes / hangs EAC in some extraction modes when "Use multiple external compressors" is used
· CD Autostart deactivation should work now
· Fixed some writing to the wrong registry key
· Removed "No use of null samples for CRC calculations" (null samples are now always used for CRC)
· EAC does not activate Windows 7 system window shadows anymore
· Some drives were only extracting very slow, this should be fixed now (but in some rare cases, some drives might have started caching now)
· The possible command line parameters replacement strings are now listed in the appropriate tooltip
· Covers can be named freely using (nearly) the same replacement strings (also listed in the tooltip)
· If no email address was specified, the information dialog now offers to open the appropriate options page
· The freedb and GD3 plugins are now translated. The language used is the one selected in EACs options
· The beeping when the compression queue gets empty is only issued when the extraction has finished (thus only once per CD)
· Fixed a crash when writing ID3 tags with lyrics with a length greater than a few kb
· Fixed a crash when using CDs with 99 tracks (or around that limit)
· The dialog asking whether files should be overwritten is now displayed at the very beginning of the extraction and not at the time when a file would actually be overwritten.
· The overwrite information dialog is now also shown when overwriting a file using a commandline compressor (fixed bug)
· CD-Text extraction is nearly completly rewritten, can now also extract composer
· The taskbar icon will now show the status (green / red) until all status windows are closed
· The final tracknumber of the last CD are stored over EAC sessions, so it is possible to continue a CD tracknumbering from a previous run of EAC
· There are new placeholders for track number formatting in the command line parameters (% tracknr1%,% tracknr2% and% tracknr3%, the number is the minimum number of digits used)
· The EAC installer will now abort installation on Windows 2000 or previous versions (as they are not supported anymore anyway)
· Profiles from beta 1 and beta 2 can be loaded with this version (beta 2 could not load beta 1 profiles)
